When I took the open diff out, I tried really hard to figure out how that thing worked, but I couldn't. This video is just amazing and I can't believe that it was filmed in 1937.

pretty cool. but doesn't this only apply to one type of differential? i mean the central principal is the same. but i think diffs have advanced a lot since then..

yes, there are different types of lsd.
but like earlier said, this was made in '37. the differential was created in like 1935.
so i think its pretty dope video.

Can't view the video...

Is it the classic GM one? With a bunch of people running around with bikes and stuff?
